18 different galaxies in the heart of Markarian's Chain. The main ones are M84 and M86. Image was taken last week with 11 x 7 minutes expo at ISO 400 during the early hours.
Very nice Eric, that certainly is a great area of she sky, you have some fine detail in that shot, even a bit of colour in some of the galaxies, well done indeed.
Great field Eric, the unknown galaxy is mag 16.3 PGC 40723.
Thanks for that glen. it was listed in starry night.

Is this a full frame or have you cropped it?
Got to give this area a go!
cheers

Very impressive - I guess the limiting factor here is not what's in the image, but what our atlases can display...
thanks karl. yes i can see those faint fuzzies around m86. dont think starry night listed these at all.

We seemed to have missed this one Eric. We've been out 3 nights in a row ... not much sleep ... and not used to having more than one object to process at a time
Your the expert at multi imaging. Don't know how you do it so regularly
This image of the galaxy field is really great. Lots of detail in each one. Still can't believe how much you get from your very light polluted site it's a credit to you
